iPhone Hardware Systems Engineer (SOC & System Performance)

Quick Facts

• Focus: iPhone SoC & system power, performance, and thermal behavior

• Work: hands-on measurement, root-cause analysis, modeling/simulation, and architecture trade-offs

Description

You will measure, model, and tune power, performance, and thermal behavior of future iPhone SoCs and systems using real SOC silicon and iPhone hardware. You’ll run hands-on performance and power measurements, correlate data with models, and turn findings into optimization opportunities. You will also help architect and communicate power/performance/thermal trade-offs across CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, and memory while partnering with hardware and software teams.

Responsibilities

• Run hands-on performance and power measurements with hardware and software tools

• Analyze data to identify root causes of unexpected behavior and propose optimizations

• Architect system behavior trade-offs across CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, and memory

• Build models, analyses, and simulations to project future performance

• Correlate models with measurements and validate assumptions

• Partner across silicon, hardware, and software teams and present findings to leadership

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science

• 3+ years of industry experience

• Experience in computer, SoC, or system architecture for mobile devices

• Hands-on experience measuring performance with hardware and software tools

• Experience in performance modeling, analysis, and debug

• Strong programming skills in Python; experience using AI tools to accelerate analysis

• Detail-driven mindset with rigor to validate data and models

• Passion for system performance and building great products

Benefits

• Collaborative team environment focused on getting technical details right and making sound architectural trade-offs
